RT5735A
5A Step-Down Converter with I2C Interface
General Description
Features
The RT5735A device is a full featured 5.5V, 5A,
synchronous step down constant-on-time (COT)
current mode converter with two integrated MOSFETs.
The RT5735A enables small designs by integrating the
MOSFETs, implementing current mode control to
reduce external component count, reducing inductor
size by enabling up to 2.4MHz switching frequency,
and minimizing the IC footprint with a small
WL-CSP-20B 1.6x2 (BSC) package. The RT5735A

provides accurate regulation for a variety of loads with
an accurate ±1% Voltage Reference (VREF) over
temperature. Efficiency is maximized through the
integrated 34m/18m MOSFETs and 70A typical
quiescent current. Using the enable pin, shutdown
supply current is less than 2A by entering a shutdown
mode.
The output voltage startup ramp is controlled by the
slow start pin. An open-drain power good signal
indicates the output is within 90% to 95% of its nominal
voltage.

Operation
The RT5735A is a synchronous low voltage step-down
converter that can support the input voltage range from
2.5V to 5.5Vand the output current can be up to 5A.
The RT5735A uses a constant on-time, current mode
architecture. In steady-state operation, the high-side
The switching frequency is 2.4MHz allows for efficiency
and size optimization when selecting the output filter
N-MOSFET is turned on when the current feedback
reaches COMP level which is the amplified difference
between the reference voltage and the feedback
voltage. The on time of high-side N-MOSFET is
determined by on-time generator which is a function of
input and output voltage. After on-time expires,
The error amplifier EA adjusts COMP voltage by
comparing the output voltage with the internal I2C set
reference voltage. When the load increases, it causes
a drop in the output voltage relative to the reference,
then the COMP voltage rises to allow higher inductor
current to match the load current.
high-side MOSFET is turned off and low-side MOSFET
is turned on. Until the low-side current sensing signal
reaches the COMP, the high-side MOSFET is turned
on again. In this manner, the converter regulates the
output voltage and keeps the frequency constant.

The RT5735A reduces the external component count
by integrating the boot recharge MOSFET.
PWM Frequency and Adaptive On Time Control
The on-time can be roughly estimated by the equation :

Auto-Zero Current Detector
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The auto-zero current detector circuit senses the LX
waveform to adjust the zero current threshold voltage.
The RT5735A senses the current signal when low-side
MOSFET turns on and uses a valley current limiting
When the current of low-side MOSFET decreases to
the zero current threshold, the low-side MOSFET turns
off to prevent negative inductor current. In this way, the
zero current threshold can adjust for different condition
to get better efficiency.
circuit. As a result, the OCP set point is the OCP DC
limit minus half of the ripple current. The OCP is
cycle-by-cycle limit. If the OCP occurs, the converter
holds off the next on pulse until inductor current drops
below the OCP limit. If the OCP keeps and the load
current is larger than the current provided by the
converter, the output voltage drops. When the output
voltage triggers UVP, the converter enters hiccup
mode.
Protection Features
The RT5735A has many features to protect the device.
Under-Voltage Protection (UVLO)
The UVLO continuously monitors the voltage of AVDD
to make sure the device works properly. When the
AVDD is high enough to reach the high threshold
voltage of UVLO, the step-down converter softly starts
or pre-bias to its regulated output voltage. When the
AVDD decreases to its low threshold (180mV
Soft-Start
hysteresis), the device will shut down.
The RT5735A has over-temperature protection. When
the device triggers the OTP, the device shuts down.
Power Good
An internal current source charges an internal capacitor
to build the soft-start ramp voltage. The typical
soft-start time is 130s.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
When the output voltage is higher than PG rising
threshold, the PG flag is High.
Output Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)
When the output voltage is lower than 400mV after
soft-start end is ok, the UVP is triggered. When UVP
occurs, the device enters hiccup mode.

RT5735A
Application Information
The basic RT5735A application circuit is shown in
Typical Application Circuit. External component
selection is determined by the maximum load current
and begins with the selection of the inductor value and
operating frequency followed by CIN and COUT.
Inductor Selection
The inductor value and operating frequency determine
the ripple current according to a specific input and
output voltage. The ripple current, IL, increases with
higher VIN and decreases with higher inductance, as
shown in equation below :

V
  V
IL   OUT   1  OUT 
f

L
V

 
IN 
where f is the operating frequency and L is the
inductance. Having a lower ripple current reduces not
only the ESR losses in the output capacitors, but also
the output voltage ripple. Higher operating frequency
combined with smaller ripple current is necessary to
achieve high efficiency. Thus, a large inductor is
required to attain this goal. The largest ripple current
occurs at the highest VIN. A reasonable starting point for
selecting the ripple current is IL = 0.3 × IMAX to
0.4×IMAX. To guarantee that the ripple current stays
below a specified maximum, the inductor value should
be chosen according to the following equation :
 VOUT  
VOUT 
L
  1 

 f  IL(MAX)   VIN(MAX) 
The inductor's current rating (defined by a temperature
rise from 25C ambient to 40°C) should be greater than
the maximum load current and its saturation current
should be greater than the short-circuit peak current
limit.
Input and Output Capacitor Selection
An input capacitor, CIN, is needed to filter out the
trapezoidal current at the source of the high-side
MOSFET. To prevent large ripple current, a low ESR
input capacitor sized for the maximum RMS current
should be used. The RMS current is given by :
IRMS  IOUT(MAX)
VOUT
VIN
VIN
1
VOUT
Copyright © 2016 Richtek Technology Corporation. All rights reserved.
DS5735A-00
January 2016
This formula has a maximum at VIN = 2VOUT, where
IRMS = IOUT(MAX) / 2. This simple worst-case condition is
commonly used for design. Choose a capacitor rated at
a higher temperature than required. Several capacitors
may also be paralleled to meet the size or height
requirements of the design. Ceramic capacitors have
high ripple current, high voltage rating and low ESR,
which makes them ideal for switching regulator
applications. However, they can also have a high
voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects. The
high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance can
lead to significant ringing. When a ceramic capacitor is
used at the input and the power is supplied by a wall
adapter through long wires, a load step at the output
can induce ringing at the input, VIN. At best, this ringing
can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop
instability. At worst, a sudden inrush of current through
the long wires can potentially cause a voltage spike at
VIN large enough to damage the part. Thus, care must
be taken to select a suitable input capacitor.
The selection of COUT is determined by the required
ESR to minimize output voltage ripple. Moreover, the
amount of bulk capacitance is also a key for COUT
selection to ensure that the control loop is stable. Loop
stability can be checked by viewing the load transient
response. The output voltage ripple, VOUT, is
determined by :


1
VOUT  IL ESR 
8fOSC COUT 

where f OSC is the switching frequency and IL is the
inductor ripple current. The output voltage ripple will be
the highest at the maximum input voltage since ΔIL
increases with input voltage. Multiple capacitors placed
in parallel may be needed to meet the ESR and RMS
current handling requirement. Ceramic capacitors have
excellent low ESR characteristics, but can have a high
voltage coefficient and audible piezoelectric effects. The
high Q of ceramic capacitors with trace inductance can
also lead to significant ringing. Nevertheless, high value,
low cost ceramic capacitors are now becoming
available in smaller case sizes. Their high ripple current,
high voltage rating and low ESR make them ideal for
switching regulator applications.

RT5735A
I2C Interface Function
2
RT5735A can be used by I C interface to select VOUT
voltage level, over current limit level, thermal warning
temperature level, PWM control mode, and so on. The
register of each function can be found from the following
register map and it also explains how to use these
function.
VOUT Selection : RT5735A has external VSEL pin to
select PROGVSEL1(0X10) or PROGVSEL0(0X11)
which can control VOUT from 0.6V to 1393.75mV with
7bits resolution. Pull VSEL to high is for PROGVSEL1
and pull VSEL to low is for PROGVSEL0. If VSELGT bit
in the COMMAND register is set to 0, VOUT will only be
controlled by PROGVSEL1.
Discharge Function : In the PGOOD register DISCHG
bit is set to 1 can let VOUT discharge by internal resistor
when converter shuts down. If setting to 0 VOUT will
decrease depending on the loading.
Power Good Function : In the PGOOD register
PGDCDC bit can control if external PG pin is active.
After PG function is active if PGDVS pin is 0, PG will not
change state during VOUT changing. Once PGDVS pin
is 1 PG will be low when VOUT is much lower than VREF
during VOUT changing.
Force PWM Mode : In the COMMAND register
PWMSEL0 and PWMSEL1 can decide converter is
always at PWM mode or enters power saving mode at
light load condition. During output voltage is changed
from high to low at light load, setting DVSMODE bit to 1
will make transition operate at PWM mode and output
voltage will decrease quickly. If setting to 0, the output
voltage will decrease depending on the loading.
Over Current Level : RT5735A has four levels of over
current limit to be selected. Using IOC bits in the
LIMCONF register can change different inductor valley
current limit level.
Thermal Shutdown Protection : The default REARM
bit in the LIMCONF register is 1. RT5735A will shut
down switching operation when the junction
temperature exceeds 150 ° C. Once the junction
temperature cools down by approximately 30°C the IC
will resume normal operation with a complete soft-start.
When REARM bit is set to 0, once the device triggers
the OTP, the system will be latched and the output
voltage will no longer be regulated during OTP latched
state. Re-start input voltage or EN pin can unlatch the
protection state. Using I2C to shutdown the system and
then re-enable it will also unlatch UVP function.
Slew Rate Setting : RT5735A can control slew rate as
VOUT changing between two voltage levels for both up
and down. In the time register DVS_UP bits can control
up-speed when in the LIMCONF register DVS_DOWN
can control down-speed. DVS_DOWN is valid only
when converter is at PWM mode or DVSMODE bit is 1.

Thermal Considerations
Layout Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
For best performance of the RT5735A, the following
layout guidelines must be strictly followed.
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
the following formula :

Input capacitor must be placed as close to the IC as
possible.

SW should be connected to inductor by wide and
short trace. Keep sensitive components away from
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX)  TA) / JA
this trace.
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA
is the ambient temperature, and JA is the junction to
ambient thermal resistance.

Keep every trace connected to pin as wide as
possible for improving thermal dissipation.
For recommended operating condition specifications,
the maximum junction temperature is 125C. The
junction to ambient thermal resistance, JA, is layout
dependent. For WL-CSP-20B 1.6x2 (BSC) package, the
thermal resistance, JA, is 55C/W on a standard
JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The
maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be
calculated by the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125C  25C) / (55C/W) = 1.8W for
WL-CSP-20B 1.6x2 (BSC) package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the
operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and
thermal resistance, JA. The derating curve in Figure 4
allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient
temperature on the maximum power dissipation.
